Tell Us About 2012 Releases

[guedita]

Lol. Exactly....but I would love to know your first name too so that I won't have to keep typing the Flight of the Conchords fan mom (learn how to spell your favorite show/band)!

your right, i suck at life! You win! Are you proud of yourself? Your so much smarter then mi. Give me your email, you can grade my next written report for work!

And to anyone (especially chicks!) who is making posts based on someone's grammar or spelling mistakes, get the hell over it, this is message board

Okay. But especially chicks, right?

[hawkingvsreeve]

Yeah, chicks!

[guedita]

Chicks, man.

[captncrzy]

Spooks, how do you feel about black female singers?

[hawkingvsreeve]

Fuckin' chicks...I Wish I Was

[jeffp1717]

I am genuinely excited about the new T.I. Love that shit.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Can we just start a new thread when people actually start legitimately listening to 2012 releases? Because these are pretty much my favorite and most active threads on the board each year, and there's nothing resembling what they're supposed to be in here yet, and we're already on page 3.

[kreutz2112]

When we're on page 46 page 3 won't matter. Spooks, your cunt is dry.

What about The Knife? Aren't they releasing something?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

See, even without the bickering, all this speculative bullshit is NOT what these threads are about. And I'd like it to be cleaned up because we tend to send a lot of new people to these threads.

UGH.

THANKS A LOT ASSHOLES.

[jeffp1717]

What releases have you listened to so far, Drinkey? All I've checked out so far was Cloud Nothings which was great and Guided By Voices which was pretty forgettable.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I'm still catching up on 2011, so none. Which is why I'm gonna be sad when I'm ready for this thread and it's 11 pages of nonsense.

GBV is a 2011 release btw

[captncrzy]

What about The Knife? Aren't they releasing something?

They're recording, so I'm guessing it would be released this coming year.

Also, laugh all you want, but I'm really excited to hear the Martin Gore/Vince Clarke collab.

The single was really, really awesome.

[captncrzy]

Totally doesn't sound like anything I've heard from Vince, but I can hear Martin's DJ stuff in there.

[kreutz2112]

New Tool album too.

[Spooks]

Chicks, man.

Damn this chick won't shut up! Thank god she'll be at different night for Godspeed show....

ps Never mind about posting your pics. We don't want to see your

Patrick, when you answer my question about Lauryn Hill, I'll answer your question.

By the way, I'm listening to Ella Fitzgerald "Twelve Nights in Hollywood" right now. It's pretty pretty pretty good.

How can anyone take you seriously when you list Death Grips as your #1 album of 2011? Give me a fuckin break! I rather watch this dude sing....

[Spooks]

She & Him Part 2

[suprefan]

Fuckin' chicks...I Wish I Was

winner

[Timestretch]

^Yes.

Grimes Visions is due Jan. I've heard about half of it and really like it although I like the old stuff as well. It's more polished and upbeat than her previous releases. There's a few tracks where the vocals sound "Asian," which I've never used to describe an album before but she does use Chinese characters on the album so maybe she was going for that. I love fade on the vocals on this track (http://www.xlr8r.com/mp3/2011/10/oblivion) at about .50 sec. In headphones it sounds like it's going in and out of my head.

Here's a snippet of a new Adam Ant track: http://adam-ant.net/mp3/hmtb.mp3. It sounds horrible.

[guedita]

Okay, Drinkey. I listened to Cloud Nothings' Attack Memory, and it's entirely unimpressive. I really liked their (his?) first release in 2010 and then the follow up was enjoyable but this is just gross and forced. Maybe it's me but I can already write this off as completely forgettable. I'm honestly hoping this thread doesn't start buzzing with a great 2012 review because there is so much left of 2011 that I want to spend time with.

So. 2012. Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors. The heavy hitters from '09 make their return. So let's play a game. Exceeds expectations, meets expectations, doesn't meet expectations. Make your prediction (if you care) and apply one term to each band's upcoming album.

GB: Exceeds
AC: Meets
DP: Doesn't meet

additions if I may:
the xx: Doesn't meet
Phoenix: Meets

[TallGuyCM]

GB: Exceeds
AC: Meets
DP: Doesn't meet

My thoughts exactly, although I can kinda imagine GB just holding serve and AC really knocking it out of the park.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I have extremely high expectations for Grizzly Bear. With Dirty projectors, i guess it just depends on what kind of album they do...I tend to like their really experimental stuff the most, so if they veer more toward The Getty Address kind of thing I'd be extremely happy...but they're so variant from release to release, which is something i love about them.

I still haven't really gotten into Animal Collective for some reason.

[sonofhal]

I'd take a new Dept of Eagles album over a new GB one.

[GrossMagic]

The Knife: Exceeds
Dan Deacon: Meets
MGMT: Doesn't Meet

[SoulDischarge]

Can something exceed your expectations if you're expecting it to exceed your expectations?

[sonofhal]

The Knife: Exceeds
Dan Deacon: Meets
MGMT: Doesn't Meet

If you are expecting it to be shit, then surely it meets expectations?

[bmack86]

Can something exceed your expectations if you're expecting it to exceed your expectations?

If Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective exceed my expectations, it'd be pretty ridiculous. I'm expecting a lot out of both (especially Animal Collective after that Coachella set.)

[PassiveTheory]

Didn't you say that you expect Deerhunter to blow all three of those bands (DP included) out of the water this year, Bryan? Or have they not indicated a new record for 2012 yet?
